When Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, heard what Guo Tu said, he was overjoyed and shouted at the door.
"Come here, go and ask for Meng Degong immediately, saying that I have something to discuss."
Cao Mengde had just returned to his camp and was about to share the good news with his men when he received an order from Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou.
Although he was confused, he still rushed over.
"My lord, do you have anything to say?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, knew that he had taken advantage, and was happy in his heart, with a smile on his face.
"Meng Degong, I have already thought about what you just said. Since you are serious about it, of course I can't brush off your kindness, so I decided to accept it."
After hearing this, Cao Mengde looked at Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, who was full of joy, and sneered in his heart.
Just be happy first, and when the fight with Lu Bu ends in defeat for both sides, you will obediently withdraw from Yanzhou.
"In this case, please ask the eldest son to expel Lu Bu as soon as possible. I will send someone to deliver a message to Lu Bu."
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, waved his hand and said, "Meng Degong, please don't worry. You can put the decisive battle with Lu Bu aside for now. There is a more important thing to do now."
[In view of the general environment,
Cao Mengde was stunned and asked in confusion, "Eldest Young Master, what is going on?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, said with a smile, "Meng Degong, it is said that the name is not justified and the words are not true. Since you are ready to dedicate the three cities of Juye to me, I am ready to tell the world about this matter so that everyone will know Meng Degong's thoughts. .”
"What?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde's expression changed, and he stared at the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, with wide eyes. He couldn't believe his ears.
"Tell the world?"
Guo Tu on the side smiled and said, "Meng Degong, since you are willing to be humble, of course you must let everyone know about your intentions, especially my lord. We must let him know the good news as soon as possible."
"no!"
Cao Mengde blurted out and waved his hands hastily, "Absolutely not."
Guo Tu pretended not to know and asked tentatively, "Meng Degong, why not?"
"this?"
Cao Mengde wanted to defend himself, but he had nothing to say and couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Guo Tu suddenly sneered, "This is what Meng Degong said himself, why not?"
At this point, Guo Tu's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Cao Mengde to answer his words, he suddenly pretended to be stunned and spoke loudly.
"Meng Degong, it turns out that you don't really mean it when you want to dedicate the three cities to the eldest son, right?"
"this?"
Cold sweat streamed down Cao Mengde's forehead, making him feel panicked.
For so long, he had never been so panicked even when he went to see Dong Zhuo with a sword.
Seeing that Cao Mengde didn't answer, Guo Tu suddenly yelled, "Meng Degong, it turns out you have evil intentions and want to deceive the eldest son, right?"
"No!"
Cao Mengde wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Gongze, I really mean what I said, and there is absolutely no lies."
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, sneered, "Meng Degong, since you are sincere, why do you think this matter is inappropriate?"
Cao Mengde's mind turned quickly and he quickly thought of a solution.
If it is really announced to the world, then even if he gets the three cities of Juye, even if the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, returns to Qingzhou, he will have reason to fight back.
What to do then?
